"Metamorphic rocks are formed on the Earth's surface." is incorrect.
Metamorphic rocks form from preexisting rocks subjected to heat and pressure (and chemically active fluids) mostly beneath the Earth's surface (commonly near tectonic plate boundaries). Those you see at the surface were brought up and exposed by uplift, erosion, or other geological processes.
